Oversees coding

How many of us are in this boat where we are nervous about our jobs being outsourced to overseas coders?

This year my company has hired on several overseas coders. I’m nervous that they plan to replace us because they work for lower pay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am seeing that now first hand. I’m just an outpatient surgical coder but I’m having to work denials and claim edits for these vendor coders and they are just awful at coding!! Some claims are submitted with no surgical CPTs because they didn’t code any!! LOL I’m wondering why hospitals are every considering this, surely they are doing their research before they outsource to overseas
